• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I barely know who they are and im British.

  I find football as dull as dishwater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Britain get to send three teams to the World Cup?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not into football, but those are different countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of music is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dark ambient.

  Check out the Cryo Chamber record label on bandcamp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weezer are alright

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Each to their own” / “whatever floats your boat”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love someone to test this theory.

  Feels like many of the records in my collection with (minor) warps are the 180g ones!

  Recently mark from sound matters was casting doubt too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0EFmGJ9BaA

  By the way, join us: lemmy.world/c/vinyl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The thicker ones are these 180 gram pressings that some people like. Some people say they sound better, or warp less. I dunno man. Im skeptical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is coding possible on smart phones ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you can plug in a keyboard and use termux. I doubt it would be fun though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is our battery/junk drawer dangerous?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you look on aliexpress, they sell zip cases for batteries that have a foam insert with holes cut for different sizes of batteries. They also have mesh zip pockets inside for your flatter coin cells etc.

  We have one and I haven’t looked back.

  I worry about house fires, so I find this gives peace of mind over shorting batteries. Safety concerns aside, it just helps with overall organisation.

  P.s. under construction… (animated gif of men at work sign)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the internet like before Y2K happened ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, it was glorious.

  Remember when it was generally accepted that an advert was a small banner at the top of your phpnuke forum, while you listened to Iron Maiden in musicmatch jukebox, while hanging on msn messenger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The left earbud of my IEMs is incredibly quiet, what's wrong with it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chu is cheap. Maybe they used scrappy plastics?

  Fwiw I have many IEMs and have never seen that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The left earbud of my IEMs is incredibly quiet, what's wrong with it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats weird.

  Are they old? Maybe rubber/plastic has degraded?

  What model are they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The left earbud of my IEMs is incredibly quiet, what's wrong with it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check if the filter is clogged?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to not know who a famous person is?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Grande Condensed Italic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to not know who a famous person is?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. We just have different priorities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s certainly a derogatory term, but not for the poor.

  Do a search on the Internet for the implications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a tool where I can compare multiple copies of the same file in different directories / hard drives to check if files got corrupted?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could do a dry run with rsync and see what it reports needs update.

  I think you’d have to force it to use checksums instead of time stamps.
